World Cup 2016

[WildCard]

Well played camera guy. Well played

[3putt]

Jack benched?

[WildCard]

I don't get why Jack isn't getting ice time. He hasn't had a bad game

[TrueBlueGED]

Jack benched?

 

Seems that way. Haven't seen him yet in the 3rd.

And there he is.

And there he is going face first into the boards.

[3putt]

Can't say that I feel better seeing him get run like that, but maybe it lights his fire.

[sodbuster]

Oooo, it's about to get hot up in hurr.

And they botch it.

[Randall Flagg]

Everyone BUT Jack played that power play poorly.

[SwampD]

Everyone BUT Jack played that power play poorly.

yeah, but keep your feet Jack. C'mon. He's stronger on his skates than that.

[3putt]

It is sad Datsyuk won't be playing this year in the League. He is still so good.

[WildCard]

A lot of it is McDavid and Matthews literally haven't been off the ice

I think MacKinnon is going to have a monster year post-Roy. He looks great.

[sodbuster]

Jack takes a forearm to the face.

 

This isn't fun anymore.

[Randall Flagg]

Yeah, that.

Risto. Emelin. You know what to do.

[TrueBlueGED]

!

[BagBoy]

Holy heck, that was fun.

 

Not the result we wanted, but so close.

That was n awesome!

This is turning into a Canadian ball wash. Jack was great on fos tonight and when you needed a draw you go to Mac?

Well the head coach is McDavid's very own.

 

I though Jack played well. I don't get the lack of ice time. That's only going to inhibit him shooting more and make him less effective. If you want to utilize him, unleash him and tell him to shoot every lane he gets

Matthews played 9:17 in the 3rd period. Led All NA forwards in TOI. Only Gostisbehere had more TOI on the backend.

 

I really want to like him, I really do. But his presence in Toronto means I'm going to have to spend 15 years hate-watching him.

Same here. But by 15 you mean however many years it takes to get him to UFA, since he's leaving as soon as he can to go play for his hometown team in Zona.

 

Hey, if Toronto can play this game all the time then so can I :P 

 

 

Separate post: I hope NA loses to Sweden. Jack can be done playing meaningless games any time now. Please.

In other news, apparently Larkin didn't play a single shift in the 3rd. Drouin had...one? Gaudreau didn't seem to have a lot either, unless he just wasn't getting the puck. Overall odd ice distribution.

That was my point above. Jack didn't get a lot of ice time, but neither did anyone else not named McDavid and Matthews

[beerme1]

He strikes me as a young punk look. I'll hate him after this tourney sure enough with a Leaf sweater on lol

[Randall Flagg]

Emelin has now taken shots at both of our young stud forwards. I didn't catch a replay to see if his elbow hit Jack in the head or not, but either way, he can basically do what he wants, because he can't fight.

[Neo]

Ekblad with another concussion. His third in 25 months ...
